HBO Series.... The New Pope

jpie · ‎06-21-2010

starts Monday January 13.

*Paolo Sorrentino returns with his second papal story, this time focusing on the mysterious, besuited, eyeliner-wearing New Pope — aka Sir John Brannox, played by John Malkovich. Set after the events of “The Young Pope” and still involving Lenny Belardo (Jude Law) to a better-left-undisclosed extent, the new nine-episode season focuses on finding a successor to Lenny’s Old Testament reign, along with the political turmoil associated with swinging too far in a new direction. If that sounds a bit stuffy, have no fear: The teaser trailer that lit the internet on fire isn’t a publicity stunt: Lenny’s bikini-clad beach walk is an actual scene from Season 2. Even with a New Pope in the spotlight, there’s loads more insanity to behold — including guest performances from Sharon Stone and Marilyn Manson(!).

It has been a long time since The Young Pope was aired. Maybe they will show the previous episodes before next Monday to build back the viewer base?

I hope so!

I have watched the show since the beginning, I don't love it. I watched the new season episode last night, it's really not for me, I'm out. I watch and DVR so much on Mondays, I won't miss this.

I just finished the first episode. It was very, very slow. The voting, and the counting, went on and on, way too long. I suppose it had to be this way to set-up the new scenario. I think it will be much more interesting as the season progresses. It did pick up in the last few minutes.

I do understand why you are done @Jordan2 after the first episode though!

@jpie there were times I almost turned the show off. I usually stick with a show to the bitter end, since it's not a favorite of mine, I am willing to give up on it.
